Powered by Morningstar Associates Which Amerivest Core Portfolio may be right for you? Conservative Moderate Moderate Aggressive Chart Key This portfolio may be appropriate for people with a low risk tolerance or a short time frame between now and retirement or those who simply choose to invest more conservatively. Weighted toward fixed income and cash, this portfolio aims to help limit volatility. Potential for modest growth comes through equities. Mutual Fund Conservative ETF Conservative Equities: 14% Large-Cap Equities: 4% Income: 69% Small-Cap Value Fixed Income: 8% Specialty: 4% Developed Equity : 1% Equities: 14% Large-Cap Equities: 4% Income: 71% Small-Cap Value Real Estate Fixed Income: Commodities 8% Specialty: 2% Developed Equity : 1% CASH This portfolio may be a good fit for investors who have a low risk tolerance, but still want to capitalize on modest and potentially more stable returns. Investments in fixed income and cash help avoid high volatility. And to help provide modest growth potential, the portfolio also offers some exposure to equities. Mutual Fund Moderate ETF Target Target Allocation Asset Allocation ETF Moderate Equities: 24% Large-Cap Equities: 10% Income: 54% Small-Cap Value Fixed Income: 6% Specialty: 5% Developed Equity : 1% Domestic DOMESTIC EQUITIES Equities: 24% Large-Cap Mid-Cap INTERNATIONAL FIXED INCOME Equities: 10% Mid-Cap Developed Value Bonds Income: 56% Small-Cap Value Real Estate Fixed Income: INTERNATIONAL Commodities 6% EQUITIES Specialty: 3% Developed Equity : 1% Emerging CASH Market Equity Mutual Fund Moderate ETF Moderate Equities: 30% Large-Cap Equities: 13% Income: 44% Small-Cap Value Fixed Income: 5% Specialty: 7% Developed Equity : 1% Equities: 30% Large-Cap Equities: 13% Income: 46% Small-Cap Value Real Estate Fixed Income: Commodities 5% Specialty: 5% Developed Equity : 1% CASH Mutual Fund ETF Target Target Allocation Asset Allocation ETF Equities: 42% Large-Cap Equities: 19% Income: 22% Small-Cap Value Fixed Income: 5% Specialty: 11% Developed Equity : 1% Equities: 42% Large-Cap Equities: 19% Income: 24% Small-Cap Value Real Estate Fixed Income: Commodities INTERNATIONAL 5% EQUITIES Specialty: 9% Developed Equity : 1% CASH 3 4 This portfolio is designed for investors with a moderate risk tolerance, who are in pursuit of modest growth, and who have several years to pursue their goals. This portfolio s asset allocation is between equities and fixed income to provide the potential for moderate growth with a moderate level of volatility. You should be comfortable with potential market fluctuations. This portfolio is designed for those who choose to invest somewhat aggressively, who can tolerate considerable market fluctuations and risk, and who have many years to pursue their goals. The portfolio is weighted toward equities with a focus on growth. You should be comfortable with potentially large market fluctuations over the medium and short term. This portfolio may be a good fit for investors who can tolerate large market fluctuations and increased risk and plan to invest for a long period of time. The Aggressive portfolio is weighted heavily toward equities for the possibility of significant growth. You should be comfortable with possible large market fluctuations throughout the term of your investment. Mutual Fund Aggressive ETF Aggressive Equities: 51% Large-Cap Equities: 27% Income: 7% Small-Cap Value Fixed Income: 3% Specialty: 11% Developed Equity : 1% Equities: 51% Large-Cap Equities: 27% Income: 9% Small-Cap Value Real Estate Fixed Income: Commodities INTERNATIONAL 3% EQUITIES Specialty: 9% Developed Equity : 1% CASH As of 12/31/12. Weightings shown are for illustrative purposes only US and Intermediate-Term are subject to change. Bonds DOMESTIC EQUITIES Large-Cap Small-Cap Small-Cap Value Developed Equity SPECIALTY Real Estate Commodities CASH SECURITIES PRODUCTS NOT FDIC INSURED NO BANK GUARANTEE MAY LOSE VALUE Securities products purchased or sold in a transaction with TD Ameritrade are: (1) not a deposit; (2) not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any federal government agency; (3) not guaranteed by TD Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates; and, (4) may be subject to investment risks, including possible loss of value. TD Ameritrade, Inc. and TD Bank, N.A. are affiliated through their parent firms. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and an investor s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Funds that invest in stocks of small-cap or mid-cap companies (companies with market capitalization below $10 billion) involve additional risks. The securities of these companies may be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of larger companies. Smaller companies typically have a higher risk of failure, and are not as well established as larger blue-chip companies. Historically, smaller company stocks have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than the overall market average. Funds that invest in international securities involve special additional risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency risk, political risk, and risk associated with varying accounting standards. Investment in emerging markets may accentuate these risks. Bonds are subject to interest rate risk. As the prevailing level of bond interest rates rises, the value of bonds already held in a portfolio declines. Funds that hold bonds are subject to declines and increases in value due to general changes in interest rates. Funds that invest in lower-rated debt securities (commonly referred to as high-yield or junk bonds) involve additional risks because of the lower credit quality of the securities in the portfolio. Investors should be aware of the possible higher level of volatility, and increased risk of default. Investors who invest a significant percentage of their assets in a single holding may incur additional risks, including share price fluctuations, due to the increased concentration of investments. Mutual funds are subject to market, exchange rate, political, credit, interest rate, and prepayment risks, which vary depending on the type of mutual fund. ETFs can entail risks similar to direct stock ownership, including market, sector, or industry risks. Some ETFs may involve international risk, currency risk, commodity risk, and interest rate risk. Trading prices may not reflect the net asset value of the underlying securities. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing. Asset allocation and diversification do not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. Amerivest Portfolios is a discretionary advisory service.
